Dumping the Xbox and joining the master race!

So I just won an auction on a good GTX 1070 on ebay so I guess its time to build a computer.

My budget is around $800, and I already own the storage, case, and now PSU/GPU. I'm located in Tennessee so sadly no local electronics places. I use a really sub-par monitor right now but I'll be gaming on a 4K TV, mostly racing games and emulators. I will be upgrading my monitor after the build is done and proven. Any recommendations? 

 

Yeah... sorry I own a Macbook guys... It was cheep, I swear!

That looks like a nice build! I'm not really sure what I could recommend other than that the water cooler is not necessary as there are great small form factor Air Coolers.

Other than that it looks good!

Main And Only Build : CPU : Ryzen 5 1600x (OC to 4.2GHz), Cooler : Thermaltake Floe Riing RGB 240 TT Premium Edition, Motherboard : Asus ROG Strix B450-F Gaming, RAM : Trident Z RGB 16GB (2*8) 3000Mhz DDR4, GPU : Gigabyte Gaming GTX 1070 TI, PSU : EVGA G3 650W 80+ Gold Certified, Storage : 250GB Samsung 860 Evo + 256GB SU800 + 2TB Seagate HDD.

Thanks! I plan on doing a minor overclock to the i5 and the Elite 130 is really meant for water cooling. I know I could probably get a cheap ATX case and a larger motherboard but I have had the case for going on 3 years (still NIB) and I just like the form factor.

Yeah welcome to the PC master race! (Not trying to hate on consoles as I play on them)

I think about the cooler that for 120mm AIO the H80i is better than the H60, but I still prefer air cooler than AIO.

 

Also don't dump the XBox completely, still can use the controller on the PC, just dump the machine. ?

My system specs:

Spoiler

CPU: Intel Core i7-8700K, 5GHz Delidded LM || CPU Cooler: Noctua NH-C14S w/ NF-A15 & NF-A14 Chromax fans in push-pull cofiguration || Motherboard: MSI Z370i Gaming Pro Carbon AC || RAM: Corsair Vengeance LPX DDR4 2x8Gb 2666 || GPU: EVGA GTX 1060 6Gb FTW2+ DT || Storage: Samsung 860 Evo M.2 SATA SSD 250Gb, 2x 2.5" HDDs 1Tb & 500Gb || ODD: 9mm Slim DVD RW || PSU: Corsair SF600 80+ Platinum || Case: Cougar QBX + 1x Noctua NF-R8 front intake + 2x Noctua NF-F12 iPPC top exhaust + Cougar stock 92mm DC fan rear exhaust || Monitor: ASUS VG248QE || Keyboard: Ducky One 2 Mini Cherry MX Red || Mouse: Logitech G703 || Audio: Corsair HS70 Wireless || Other: XBox One S Controler

Is the H80i even gonna fit in the case? If I can fit 2 fans I'll do push-pull on the H60 but I don't think the H80i with both fans would fit, one probably would. And yep I've already got the wireless adapter for the Xbox controllers.

Yeah... sorry I own a Macbook guys... It was cheep, I swear!
